In advance of Thursday's referendum on Scottish independence, Labour MP Anne Begg presents the case for staying with the UK...The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is about to open,but reports that the government wants a preliminary look at certain exhibits raise concerns...and 47 years ago, Marion Coombs put her son up for adoption, and then was told her baby had died. That was untrue, and the two recently met for the first time.

Part One

Scotland "No" politician
Scotland's referendum on independence is just two days away. And tonight, Labour MP Anne Beggs explains why she believes her country should remain part of the United Kingdom.

9/11 photo
For 13 years, Elizabeth Stringer Keefe worked to identify the people in a wedding photo found near Ground Zero, not long after the attacks of September eleventh. This year, she got some long-awaited answers -- of the "happily ever after" variety.

Hockey sculpture
Now that the giant, incredibly heavy metal sculpture of a hockey player is complete, its creator would love someone to take it off his hands -- somehow.

Part Two

Canadian Human Rights Museum edits
With Canada's Human Rights Museum set to open, we find out what exactly the government has been trying to find out about what's inside -- and why it's so interested.

Abdul Monir left his family behind in Afghanistan to escape the dangers of Kabul. He thought he'd find safety in Canada. Instead, he ended up dead in Toronto, shot by a gunman at the pizzeria where he worked.

Part Three

Tajik student released
Alex Sodiqov spent more than a month in jail in Tajikistan, charged with high treason. We covered his story on this program. Now he's free, and back in Canada.

Burnaby mayor
The city of Burnaby files a lawsuit in BC's Supreme Court, attempting to prevent Kinder Morgan from destroying any trees or parkland as the company begins preliminary work on its Trans-Mountain pipeline expansion.

Mother reunited with son
When she was just 19, Marion Coombs gave birth to a son whom she gave up for adoption. She was told he died within days of being born. But 47 years later, Andrew Allan tracked down his mother. And they met for the first time on Labour Day weekend.
